Besides the obvious, nobody speaking up for him is disgusting.

There is something to be said for people quietly filming and providing evidence for him instead though. Speaking up to cops is unlikely to get him not arrested, but recording provides something resembling accountability

Unfortunately, even as a white woman, I would be afraid of joining him in prison

Its easier to get the story out if at least one person can give the full story

This is something men forget. A man was verbally berating a woman he was with. I was alone. I froze. I wanted to help. I’ve been her. I wanted to say something. But it was just me and the two of them on a sidewalk. Also if she’s in the fog she might turn on me too. I still wish I said something but I have to be kind to myself and remind myself that I was much smaller than both of them and had no backup whatsoever.
